Rene Ricard "is a semi-secret hero of American art and culture," writes Vice magazine. Although once thought of as mainly a poet and art critic, Ricard began to develop his poems into paintings in the late 1980s, oftentimes repurposing old painted canvases from anonymous sources. Growing Up in America is a perfect example of this practice, featuring the title of one of his most well-known poems on top of what could very well be an impressionist painting from the 19th century. Ricard admits, "I'm vain about my handwriting."
